the Dye Wells

Every once in a while the members of the Dye Wells travel to the Outer Banks in order to, as Michael Kalna names it, “make bonfires, beat drums, and howl at the moon.” For a band whose eclectic blend of blues, funk, and rock so often celebrates empowerment, it’s a fitting method of recreation. Led by the Aretha and Phoebe Snow-influenced vocals of Leticia Renee Angell, the self-acclaimed Empress of Mighty Funk Nation, and backed by Kalna’s exquisite guitar and the thunderous rhythm section of Michael O’Neal, bass and Eric Mrozkowski on drums, their songs are always upbeat and dynamic.
